I only have it on vinyl -- but The Lester Lanin Orchestra put out a bunch of albums that has the big band swing stuff - I think my albums are older than I am... but it used to be fun to listen to .

What about The Brian Setzer Orchestra?

It's DeLovely - the movie about the life of Cole Porter -- some of the remakes of a lot of the songs are horrendous... but if you go for the earlier stuff, you'll probably find a bunch of Cole Porter stuff you'd like.

That, and Harry Connick Jr who's got that Cole Porter feel to him.
